Atlantic City officials have voted to ban the sale of toy guns.

While they're just for play, some look extremely realistic and have even been used in crimes - that's why police are trying to get them off the streets.

The toy gun ordinance which was passed early Wednesday evening bans the sale and possession of an imitation firearm - unless it's a bright color, clearly indicating that it's not real.

One council member says he's gotten calls from Philadelphia and Washington D.C. and he hopes the idea catches on.
